Ditting 1827 High Volume Tungsten Carbide Industrial Grinder

They are the same grinder with different 180 mm burrs: fully hardened special steel (S) as standard, special steel for Turkish fine (ST) for ultra-fine Turkish grinds, and tungsten carbide (HM), rated for about 250 to 450 tons of grind life versus about 25 to 45 tons for the steel burrs.

Under lab conditions Ditting lists about 300 kg/h medium and 280 kg/h espresso with the standard special steel burrs, about 280 kg/h medium and 260 kg/h espresso with tungsten carbide burrs, and about 180 kg/h Turkish with the Turkish burrs.

It runs on three-phase power, 208-220V 60 Hz in the US version or 380-415V 50/60 Hz, with a nominal power of 5500 W.

The bean hopper holds 30 kg (70 L) and the stainless steel ground material container holds 200 L.

It is an industrial grinder for medium to large roasteries and production facilities that pre-grind coffee in volume, designed for continuous operation.

Ditting grinders are engineered in Switzerland and are known for precision burr design, durability, and consistency. Unlike many café grinders, they are built for long-term heavy use in commercial, lab, or industrial environments.

All models use flat, machined steel burrs designed for uniform particle size and clarity of flavor. Burrs are highly durable, often rated for 5,000–10,000+ lbs of coffee, depending on the model.

Yes, but suitability depends on the model. Some (e.g., 807 LAB) excel at cupping and lab analysis, while others (KR1403, KFA1403) are best for bulk grinding. The grind range covers espresso to cold brew, though fine-tuning depends on burr size and model.

All Ditting grinders are designed for quick access to burrs and grinding chambers, making cleaning straightforward. Regular brushing and occasional burr replacement are the main maintenance tasks.
